24.21 miles to go. $5,526 raised

I went back to wearing to steel belted huaraches.  As it turns out, the newer ones were from a tire that was worn more in its' middle that at the sides, by about 1/8 inch.  That means that the outsides of my feet wore not going down as low as the center.  Over time and miles this may have cause the pain in my metatarsals and left knee.  I ran today without problem.  Miles yet to conquer are 24.21. I am very pleased that donations are still coming  in and there are still promises to be kept.  Thanks, everyone.  LEE

Under 30 miles

     There are now only 29.61 miles left to conquer.  I'm  going to try to get it under 25 miles tomorrow.   Donations are at $5,386 and I know of three more that will be coming in soon.  Now, the program can go back to feeding the kids  four weeks a month instead of the three that they had to cut back to recently.
      I took a week off of running because of a sore left ankle and a little soreness behind my left knee.  It must be my weak side.  Now, I am back on the trails.  It is still hard to believe that the donations came in so fast.  My original thought was that I would receive the first $1,000 easily and then have to run forever to get the rest.  Now, I  am trying to catch up with the donors.  Thanks, everyone for your moral and financial support.  Where hungry kids are concerned, there should be no consideration of race, religion or nationality.  

Keep watching... new update coming soon

Minimum goal met

Donations now are over $5,000.   That was my goal, but if you had planned to give, please still do so.    $5,000 was my mininum goal.  I still have 32 miles to run.  Don't stop donating. I've had a sore ankle and am giving myself a break until the weather is a little warmer.   Each dollar  provides 5 meals.  I noticed that  the paper says that the local Comminity Kitchen, ( a VERY good organization) needs  $500, 000  expand...  I only need $5,000 to keep 85 kids fed for a year. As soon as the weather gets warmer I'll hit the trail.  Please dig deep.   Remember, ALL of your donation is tax deductible  and,  ALL  of the money goes directly to the program.  ALL expenses have been covered by volunteers.     No other NGO that I can think of can say that.

miles down 67.19,,,, to go 32.81

Donations total $4,705.  We are really close.  Donations are coming in slower lately. Maybe everyone is waiting to see if I actually finish the 100 miles.  That is my intention!!   Get your checks ready, and thanks for your support.
     I had a rough 5.75 miles today.  There was a quadricep cramp for the first mile and a half.  I ran slowly, but after the one half way point I was actually able to run faster than ever before.  I can't figure that out.  

latest

Miles down....61.44....miles to go 38.56
Fund total $4,550.
The Posoltega news letter was mailed out on Friday.  Maybe that will bring in more much need money.  Nothing it brings in will be counted towards the $5,000 that I am trying to raise by running in huaraches, but it will help fund the lunch program.  Who would like to take the donation total over the top?  LEE
